Patent CA-2762157-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HANEY JAMES A
IPC: B65G67/60
Filed: 2011-12-14
Abstract: A load out and float off method for a spar type structure or a load out method for another structure such as a deck. The invention enables the load out and float off of a large diameter spar using existing Heavy Lift Vessels (HLV's). A U-shaped tank (U-tank) is utilized to artificially extend the length of the HLV and to provide supplemental buoyancy to help lift the spar off the land ways during load out. The U-tank provides the necessary supplemental buoyancy and water plane area to float the spar off the HLV. After the departure of the HLV the U-tank is moved and placed beneath an adapter frame cantilevered off the top of the spar's hard tank. The U-tank is ballasted upward to lift the hard tank and reduce its draft. At the reduced draft of the hard tank the strake tips clear the channel bottom. Because the strake tips clear the channel bottom, the spar can be brought alongside the fabrication yard quay for additional work. Subsequently, at the reduced draft, the spar can be towed down the channel to the open sea.

Title: Payment systems and methods using mobile computing devices
Inventor: FALK KEVIN B
IPC: G06Q20/02
Filed: 2012-01-20
Abstract: Systems and methods for the processing of payments to retail establishments using mobile computing devices. A user of a mobile computer device takes a digital image of a specific bar code at a retail establishment. A token is then derived from the bar code and the token is transmitted by the device to a server with whom the device and its user are registered with. The retail establishment packages the details regarding the proposed purchase by the user along with a token derived from the same bar code. The retail establishment then sends the package to the same server. The server then checks the two tokens received and, if they match, then the server effects payment from one of the user's payment options to the retail establishment. Both the user and the retail establishment are then notified of the payment.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to the determination of the colour of a colour sample from an image of the colour sample. In one embodiment a colour sample capture card is provided having printed thereon colour samples of known colour(for example, XYZ tri-stimulus values). An image of the test colour sample is then captured using domestically available equipment, such as a consumer digital camera or camera-equipped mobile telephone, the image also containing the colour sample capture card. In one embodiment the image is then transmitted to a remote colour determination service for colour sample colour determination. Regression analysis is then performed using the RGB colour samples in the image and known XYZ colours thereof to characterise the colour capture response of the image capture device. Having characterised the image capture device the XYZ colour of the unknown colour sample can be determined from the RGB colour thereof in the image. Knowing the XYZ colour, the colour can then be matched to a palette of paint colours, to determine a paint colour to match the unknown colour.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a gelastic cushion. The gelastic cushion is made from a conventional gelastic composition. The gelastic cushion has a structure having a first wall that defines an opening area and buckles when a force is applied to the first wall. When the first wall buckles a predetermined amount, a second wall, interconnected to the first wall, also buckles. The second wall decreases the chance that the first wall bottoms out. Bottoming out increases the pressure on the patient {a.k.a., the force) overlying the gelastic cushion. That increased pressure is undesirable.
